>> The other thing I didn't find is: how can I create a dashed (or >> otherwise styled) line stencil with make-line-stencil? I was going to write: If you regard the basics you'll see something like the following example: \markup \box { \stencil #(ly:make-stencil (list 'dashed-line 0.2 ; width 0.5 ;; on 0.5 ; off 10 ;; x-end 10 ;; y-end 0 ;; phase ) ;; x-ext (cons 0 10) ;; y-ext (cons 0 10)) \stencil #(ly:make-stencil (list 'draw-line 0.2 ; width 0 ; startx 0 ; starty 10 ; endx 10 ;endy ) '(0 . 10) '(0 . 10)) } So there's no direct method to switch between both, because of the kind and amount of arguments differ. But you can use some "meta"-functions like: (and now follow David' reply) > > You should use ly:line-interface::line (which is available from > 2.19.27, off the top of my head). > > Here's an example with both text and different line styles. > > (Even though TextScript doesn't support line-interface, you can still > tweak line-related properties!) > > \version "2.19.46" > > #(define (my-stencil grob) > (let* ((line (ly:line-interface::line grob 1.5 0 6 0)) > (text (grob-interpret-markup grob "A")) > (stil (apply ly:stencil-add (list line text)))) > stil)) > > { > \override TextScript.stencil = #my-stencil > c''1 -\tweak style #'dashed-line ^"" > c''1 -\tweak style #'zigzag ^"" > } > >> >> More generally: how can I learn more about these things?
